If the marginal propensity to save is 0.15 in an economy, a $15 billion rise in consumption spending will increase: A GDP by $20 billion. B saving by $25 billion. C GDP by $100 billion. D GDP by $18 billion.
Given that national income is 80 crores and consumption expenditure 64 crores, find out the average propensity to save. When income rises to 100 crores and consumption expenditure to 78 crores. What will be the average propensity to consume and the marginal propensity to consume? Typed and correct answer please. I will rate accordingly.
Suppose that GDP is $8 billion, taxes are $1.5 billion, private saving is $0.5 billion, and public saving is 0.2 billion. Assuming the economy is closed, calculate the size of:(i) Consumption (ii) Investment (iii) Government Spending (iv) National Savings b. Explain the difference between saving and investment as defined by a macroeconomist. c. Which of the following situations in c (i) & c (ii) represent investment? Saving? Explain(i) Your family takes out a mortgage and buys a new house. (ii) You use your paycheque to buy stock in Sagicor Financial Services.
Explain how each of this will affect the consumption and saving schedules (as they relate to GDP) or the investment schedule, other things equal: A sizable increase in the retirement age for collecting Social Security benefits.
If there is an increase in the personal income tax rate, and people do not receive a pay increase, then disposable income will... decrease or increase Therefore, we can expect consumption spending to... decrease or increase and private saving to..... increase or decrease .

Consider an economy in which autonomous consumption, planned autonomous investment, autonomous government expenditure, autonomous taxes, and the marginal propensity to consume are given (there are no net exports). Autonomous consumer spending = $3,000 Ip = $5,000 G = $3,000 T = $4,000 MPC = .75 (a) What is the level of C when Y = $19,000? I need help to know how to calculate this.
Let's say the autonomous Investment = $5,000, autonomous consumption = $12000, autonomous government expenditures = $3,000, autonomous net exports = - $2,000, and the mpe = .6. Now there is a banking crisis, and Investment drops $2,500. What is equilibrium GDP? Question 8 options: $15,500 $33,500 $48,750 $38,750 2
Consumption function: C = 85 + 0,5Yd Investment function: I = 75 Government spending: G = 70 Net Taxes: T = 0,25Y Disposable income: Yd Y – T Equilibrium: Y = C + I + G You are given the following model for the economy of a country without a foreign sector: (d) Solve for equilibrium income. (Hint: Be very careful in your calculations. They are not difficult, but it is easy to make careless mistakes that produce dramatically wrong results.) (e) How much does the government collect in taxes when the economy is in equilibrium? (f) What is the government’s budget deficit or surplus?
